Correction .. during surveys of this morning, the satellite was still performing to get into geostationary orbit ... now is about 3°W with moving to east. In about 24 hours I will carry out a new survey.
 
Checked after 24 hours, it is about 2°W... drifting to East of about 1~1,2° for day
 
EUTELSAT 8 WEST B is @ 11 west drifting west

The satellite is still managing to get to the geostationary orbit ; & haven't reach the appropriate altitude.
 
Eutelsat 8WB is about 1°E... and tomorrow will come to 1,7°E, for in-orbit testing..
Already see the telemetry of Eutelsat 3B

PS: the TLE are not correct

What I always find amazing is how quickly Eutelsat get there satellites into geo stationery orbit and start testing. Other operators seem to take ages..
Good for them. It will be interesting to see how reception will be ...
